[amibroker] Price - OBV overlay indicator help ; OBV scan

I;m trying to plot the OBV indicator on top of price so they are in 
the same window but I'm having problems.

Here's what I tried:
x=Close;
y=OBV();
Plot(x,"Close",colorTeal,1);
Plot(y,"OBV",colorYellow,1);

That didn't work as I kept getting an error that said "plot".  Then 
I tried copying the OBV indicator into the y= part and all that did 
was bring up the price but it was delayed by a day, so there were 
two lines one was actual price and the second was showing price but 
always a day behind.  I'm assuming this can be done b/c it seems 
like you can do whatever you want on this package.

Also, has anyone ever experimented with an OBV scan?  I have never 
seen a scan, or very few anyways, that pertain to OBV.  I'm looking 
at something where OBV increases by a certain percentage but price 
remains flat.  I suspect this may be tough because some stocks have 
such high degrees of varying OBV readings.  A heavily traded stock 
like SUNW may produce entirely different results than thinly traded 
stocks that do 150K per day tops.  But what I'm trying to achieve 
with this scan is finding stocks that are quietly being accumulated, 
hence the increasing OBV and flat price.  In theory anyways, this is 
setting the stage for a big pop in price in the short to near term.  
Seeing as how my last programming experienmce came thru setting up a 
program that would show 4 flashing green blocks on a Ti99-4a pc, it 
will be a long time before I can create this.  Was just wondering if 
anyone out there may have experiemented with this and what kind of 
results they had     

Thanks
